Hi Barbara:
You may want to look at CTAS. You can create (pub) by joining (pub_14) and (pub_17) using CTAS.

Solaris 9
Oracle 9.2.0.4

I have been trying for several days to update a field in one table (pub) from a field in another table (pub_14)
The table I'm updating FROM (pub_14) has about 500,000 rows in it.
The table I'm updating (pub) has about 18,000,000 rows in it.

I'm on about my 5th attempt. The current version has been running for 38 hours. So far I believe I've managed to update about 500 records.

The tables originally were identical in structure, but 1 came from another database. To eliminate link issues, I created a new table (pub_14) with just the 5 fields I need.

Both tables have an index on these 3 columns (adno, pubno, vno). I've analyzed both tables. The cost is lower with the hints I've provided, but I don't really think it makes any difference.

I turned on 10046 level 12 for the current process (38 hour one). In just a few minutes of tracing, I see bunches of executes, but no updates.

Any ideas?
Here's my update pl/sql, tkprof from the 10046 trace, and a sample of one of the sets of adno's that need to be updated.

           pub14.mdate
      FROM advdb.pub_14 pub14;

  pub14_rec pub14_cur%ROWTYPE;

  v_insert NUMBER(9,0) := 0;

BEGIN
  OPEN pub14_cur;
  FETCH pub14_cur INTO pub14_rec;
  LOOP
    EXIT WHEN pub14_cur%NOTFOUND;

       use_hash (pub14 pub17) */

       SET pub17.pub_sysdate = pub14_rec.mdate
     WHERE pub17.adno     = pub14_rec.adno
       AND pub17.pubno    = pub14_rec.pubno
       AND pub17.vno      = pub14_rec.vno
AND pub17.pub_sysdate <> pub14_rec.mdate;

    v_insert := v_insert + 1;
    IF MOD(v_insert,1000) = 0

       then COMMIT;
End IF;
  END LOOP;
  COMMIT;
